Because the world runs on Windows.

01:02.000 --> 01:04.000
I'd like to introduce you to tonight's master of ceremonies.

01:04.000 --> 01:06.000
I'd like to introduce the master of ceremonies for tonight.

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
He's the host of the Computer Chronicles and the Computer Bowl show.

01:08.000 --> 01:10.000
Please welcome Stuart Chafink.

01:10.000 --> 01:12.000
Thank you very much, thank you.

01:12.000 --> 01:14.000
All right, let's have a round of applause,

01:14.000 --> 01:16.000
actually, for our Computer Bowl ensemble.

01:16.000 --> 01:18.000
We've got one thing to do, it is the mic run of hands.

01:18.000 --> 01:20.000
All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is the 10th annual Computer Bowl.

01:20.000 --> 01:22.000
Over the course of nine years,

01:22.000 --> 01:24.000
I'm sorry to say the score of that was a bit lopsided.

01:24.000 --> 01:26.000
It won six times, the East Coast has won three times.

01:26.000 --> 01:28.000
So you folks in Boston, I think you ought to cheer a little bit in the crowd for the guys back there.

01:28.000 --> 01:30.000
Give it up.

01:30.000 --> 01:32.000
And just so you all here in Boston know, out on the West Coast,

01:32.000 --> 01:34.000
we have a live audience also at Martha's Field in Mountain View, California,

01:34.000 --> 01:36.000
watching this with a live sound like TV by a doctor like you.

01:36.000 --> 01:38.000
You ought to be clapping and cheering on your West Coast guys over backstage right now.

01:38.000 --> 01:40.000
So I can assume they're clapping, so a little sportsmanship there.

01:40.000 --> 01:42.000
All right, by the way, this 10th annual Computer Bowl is being webcast live

01:42.000 --> 01:44.000
through the courtesy of Sun Microsystems.

01:44.000 --> 01:46.000
It's also going to be archived on the web.

01:46.000 --> 01:48.000
You'll be able to access the Computer Bowl webcast at computable.org,

01:48.000 --> 01:50.000
at sun.com, and at gram.com.

01:50.000 --> 01:54.000
And you can also watch the computer show on the West Coast, or those geeked on the West Coast,

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
to know more about the history, the events, and the people of the computer industry.

01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
And the winners of this 10th annual Computer Bowl will be crowned in all three stages of Cyberspace.

01:58.000 --> 02:00.000
So we're going to get right to it.

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
Representing the West Coast, the reigning champions, are the Senior Vice President for Product Development

02:02.000 --> 02:04.000
and Exchange, Mark M. Grieges.

02:04.000 --> 02:06.000
Senior Manager, Stuart MacFarlane.

02:06.000 --> 02:08.000
The President and CEO of Storm Technology, Bill Cox.

02:08.000 --> 02:10.000
The Chairman and CEO of StarWave, Mike Cline.

02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
And the President of the West Coast, Ian McKellen,

02:12.000 --> 02:14.000
who's going to be our time to meet, Drew Yow.

02:14.000 --> 02:16.000
Now we've got the cowboys on the left, who will we see on each?

02:16.000 --> 02:20.000
All right, for the East Coast, the challenger is the President of... there you are.

02:20.000 --> 02:22.000
The President of General Science, and welcome Stan Wilson.

02:22.000 --> 02:24.000
First of all, President of Technology,

02:24.000 --> 02:26.000
the challenger is the Wall Street Journal, Will Hoffman.

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
The President of the Southland Public Sector Association,

02:28.000 --> 02:30.000
Ben Hock.

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
The President of the Good Fathers of Tech,

02:32.000 --> 02:34.000
Robin Dent.

02:34.000 --> 02:36.000
And now the top of the East Coast team,

02:36.000 --> 02:38.000
the second Vice President of Strategy and Leadership and Operations,

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
welcome Mike Dickman.

02:40.000 --> 02:42.000
So it's the cowboys versus the biggies.

02:42.000 --> 02:44.000
And the computer bowl, the computer bowl wins.

02:44.000 --> 02:46.000
The computer bowl, the computer bowl wins.

02:46.000 --> 02:48.000
I'm delighted to introduce my wife and partner,

02:48.000 --> 02:50.000
we have learned over the past years that a lot of times these guys are a burden

02:50.000 --> 02:52.000
so I get to argue sometimes about the correct answers to these questions.

02:52.000 --> 02:54.000
So we have with us tonight two expert judges,

02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
who are going to roll very quickly, I hope, on any disputed answers, any questions you give to the viewers.

02:56.000 --> 02:58.000
So please welcome our distinguished judges, we have Andy Cunningham of Cunningham Communications,

02:58.000 --> 03:00.000
Lynn Bailey, and Dan Bickford of Cellix Corporation.

03:00.000 --> 03:02.000
Now it is indeed my pleasure to introduce my co-host,

03:02.000 --> 03:04.000
fourth Vice Computer Bowl, he is a native of England, by the way,

03:04.000 --> 03:06.000
so look out for any East Coast biosphere guys, so look out.

03:06.000 --> 03:08.000
He is known as a studio boss, he has a track of computer interviews,

03:08.000 --> 03:10.000
he has designed and developed a groundbreaking secure website,

03:10.000 --> 03:14.000
where managers and consultants enable diabetes researchers to talk to each other and to share their work.

03:14.000 --> 03:16.000
He is also a prolific producer and writer and director, he is a peer-to-peer actor,

03:16.000 --> 03:18.000
in many television series and movies, including Gandhi, Star Wars, Murphy Brown, and Toy Story.

03:18.000 --> 03:20.000
You have probably seen him recently on television as the Kitney Bowes Man,

03:20.000 --> 03:22.000
and you know without all known, he is a regular at a local bar right around here called Q's.

03:22.000 --> 03:24.000
Please welcome Dan Bickford, everybody.

03:24.000 --> 03:26.000
Thank you, everyone.

03:26.000 --> 03:28.000
Thank you.

03:28.000 --> 03:30.000
This is awesome, isn't it?

03:30.000 --> 03:32.000
Thank you.

03:32.000 --> 03:34.000
Thank you, very nice of you.

03:34.000 --> 03:36.000
All right, ladies and gentlemen,

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
I just want to say a couple of things.

03:38.000 --> 03:40.000
I'm a big fan of computers.

03:40.000 --> 03:42.000
I spend a lot of time on the front porch,

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000
and a lot of the local agents here do walk in behind,

03:44.000 --> 03:46.000
and we try to make them fun.

03:46.000 --> 03:48.000
I want you to remember one thing,

03:48.000 --> 03:50.000
never make fun of a nerd because someday you're going to be working for him.

03:50.000 --> 03:52.000
All right, ladies and gentlemen,

03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
back to the ballgame, get ready for computer ball 10.

03:54.000 --> 03:56.000
The rules of the game, by the way, have already been explained to both teams,

03:56.000 --> 03:58.000
so panelists, start your brains, and John, I want you to be going,

03:58.000 --> 04:00.000
and ask question number one.

04:00.000 --> 04:02.000
Okay, here we go.

04:02.000 --> 04:04.000
The broadcast ability for a candidate may be restricted to use of computer-generated effects,

04:04.000 --> 04:06.000
including computer-generated people,

04:06.000 --> 04:08.000
and the answer is 500.

04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
That is not the correct answer.

04:10.000 --> 04:12.000
It was way below 1,000.

04:12.000 --> 04:14.000
All right, put the questions on.

04:14.000 --> 04:16.000
Some airlines are now allowing passengers to recharge their laptop computers while in flight.

04:16.000 --> 04:18.000
What is an organization called the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association?

04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
All right, you want to know?

04:20.000 --> 04:22.000
It's people with a lot of time on their hands.

04:22.000 --> 04:24.000
Uh, it's the PLBA.

04:24.000 --> 04:26.000
They're saying they want the FAA to prohibit airline passengers from doing that,

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
recharging their batteries. Why?

04:28.000 --> 04:30.000
Okay, the question, the answer is stop,

04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
because they say there are some problems,

04:32.000 --> 04:34.000
including malfunctioning or being fired by a particular battery.

04:34.000 --> 04:36.000
That's not the answer.

04:36.000 --> 04:38.000
All right, here we go.

04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
The Amiga computer disappeared from the U.S. market some years ago, but in 1997.

04:40.000 --> 04:42.000
Amiga Technologies was purchased by a major American...

04:42.000 --> 04:44.000
That is not correct.

04:44.000 --> 04:46.000
Hold on, you guys get a chance to answer.

04:46.000 --> 04:48.000
You lose 10 points.

04:48.000 --> 04:50.000
John will finish the question.

04:50.000 --> 04:52.000
Somebody has to buzz in for what answer.

04:52.000 --> 04:54.000
We have to give you five bucks later.

04:54.000 --> 04:56.000
All right, Amiga Technologies was purchased by a major American computer company,

04:56.000 --> 04:58.000
Coupon Amiga.

04:58.000 --> 05:00.000
Bill, you are taxed gateway or IBM.

05:00.000 --> 05:02.000
Gateway is correct.

05:02.000 --> 05:04.000
Bill, you have to do this question.

05:04.000 --> 05:06.000
October 28, 1997, the industry's electronic trading network, Oasis,

05:06.000 --> 05:08.000
helped the New York Stock Exchange profit a record 1.2 billion shares.

05:08.000 --> 05:10.000
The most heavily traded stocks on the New York Stock Exchange

05:10.000 --> 05:12.000
and the NASDAQ were both technology companies.

05:12.000 --> 05:14.000
What companies were they?

05:14.000 --> 05:16.000
Michael, Compaq and Microsoft.

05:16.000 --> 05:18.000
That is not correct.

05:18.000 --> 05:20.000
Compaq was right. Compaq was the only New York Stock Exchange that was Intel and NASDAQ.

05:20.000 --> 05:22.000
All right, what are my questions on?

05:22.000 --> 05:24.000
Windows may be the most popular operating system for PCs,

05:24.000 --> 05:26.000
but there's another operating system out there.

05:26.000 --> 05:28.000
Hey, I'm a Mac guy.

05:28.000 --> 05:30.000
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

05:30.000 --> 05:32.000
Windows may be the most popular operating system for PCs,

05:32.000 --> 05:34.000
but there's another operating system out there

05:34.000 --> 05:36.000
that is distributed free, which is called the most sophisticated operating system.

05:36.000 --> 05:38.000
All right, Mark and Jason, you win it.

05:38.000 --> 05:40.000
All right, so we're going to go to our bonus round.

05:40.000 --> 05:42.000
We have four bonus round questions during the course of the game,

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
two for each side.

05:44.000 --> 05:46.000
Let me explain the rules for our bonus round questions when we begin with the West Coast first.

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
Let me tell you the category of languages used on the web, okay?

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
And you can wager your points.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
Ten, a question, 20, a question, up to 30 a question.

05:52.000 --> 05:54.000
It's the same for each of the three questions.

05:54.000 --> 05:56.000
How much do I go for?

05:56.000 --> 05:58.000
You guys take out 40 points on the scoreboard, but you can borrow.

05:58.000 --> 06:00.000
What percentage of all web pages in the world are in English?

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
And I'll accept an answer within 5% of the correct answer.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
You can consult Denise if you don't want to answer.

06:04.000 --> 06:06.000
What percentage of all the web pages in the world are in the English language?

06:06.000 --> 06:08.000
And I need an answer within 5% of the correct number.

06:08.000 --> 06:10.000
And you're 5, you jump to the top.

06:10.000 --> 06:12.000
Me, 85. 85? You're right on, 82. Very good.

06:12.000 --> 06:14.000
Way to go. You guys are hot.

06:14.000 --> 06:16.000
All right, here we go. Now, English is the most common language on the web.

06:16.000 --> 06:18.000
Which language ranks number two in multiple choice, actually,

06:18.000 --> 06:20.000
is it French, Chinese, German, or Russian?

06:20.000 --> 06:22.000
Which is number two? French, Chinese, German, or Russian?

06:22.000 --> 06:24.000
What is the second most popular language in the world?

06:24.000 --> 06:26.000
Yes, English, Denise, the answer is German. Very good. Number two is correct.

06:26.000 --> 06:28.000
What is the third most common language used on the web pages?

06:28.000 --> 06:30.000
You don't need any multiple choice anymore.

06:30.000 --> 06:32.000
What is the third most common language used on web pages?

06:32.000 --> 06:34.000
All right, time is up, Denise.

06:34.000 --> 06:36.000
It is French. Ronald, you're number two.

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
You got 20 points out of that.

06:38.000 --> 06:40.000
No, no, it was on a multiple choice question. Remember?

06:40.000 --> 06:42.000
No, no, no, no, no. I told you that. I told you that.

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
You guys are awesome for getting that wrong. That's the way it works.

06:44.000 --> 06:46.000
All right, you guys are tough now.

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
All right, we're trying to find all the awesome tweets on TV this year.

06:48.000 --> 06:50.000
That's right, there's some tweets. I take them quick.

06:50.000 --> 06:52.000
Now, a tweet from an original TV show is a speech of a character called Robbie the Robot.

06:52.000 --> 06:54.000
We all know about Robbie, don't we?

06:54.000 --> 06:56.000
What is the first word that is used inside Robbie the Robot?

06:56.000 --> 06:58.000
Robbie the Robot, original, lost, and saved.

06:58.000 --> 07:00.000
No, history, or history. I'm sorry, what's your answer, Bill?

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
The A-A-D.

07:02.000 --> 07:04.000
I might embarrass you, but there were no microprocessors in the early 1950s.

07:04.000 --> 07:06.000
There were none.

07:06.000 --> 07:08.000
Great question.

07:08.000 --> 07:10.000
What can you do?

07:10.000 --> 07:12.000
I'm going to have to have these questions on video again

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
until we can ban one of our judges, but also one of our guest questions,

07:14.000 --> 07:16.000
the of course the founder and chief technology officer of Telecaliferation, here's the question.

07:16.000 --> 07:18.000
Eric Allman wrote a piece of software called Thumbnail,

07:18.000 --> 07:20.000
which is now used to deliver most of the Internet's email.

07:20.000 --> 07:22.000
The latest version of Thumbnail includes any spamming features.

07:22.000 --> 07:24.000
When was the first version of Thumbnail written?

07:24.000 --> 07:26.000
Was it in 1993, in 1989, in 1985, or 1981?

07:26.000 --> 07:28.000
I'm going to have to have one more question in this round, Donna.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
If you're going to have to fix a computer game's Zork,

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
you're occasionally told it is pitch black.

07:32.000 --> 07:34.000
When it happens, what is likely to happen to you?

07:34.000 --> 07:36.000
Will you be attacked by a troll, fall down a well,

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
be attacked by a dragon, or be eaten by a dragon?

07:38.000 --> 07:40.000
What is the answer?

07:40.000 --> 07:42.000
The answer is, the answer is, the answer is,

07:42.000 --> 07:44.000
the answer is, the answer is, the answer is,

07:44.000 --> 07:46.000
the answer is, the answer is, the answer is,

07:46.000 --> 07:48.000
the answer is, the answer is,

07:48.000 --> 07:50.000
the answer is, the answer is,

07:50.000 --> 07:52.000
the answer is, the answer is,

07:52.000 --> 07:54.000
the answer is, the answer is,

07:54.720 --> 07:57.000
I think, the answer

07:59.720 --> 08:02.280
is going to be the tower itself.

08:02.280 --> 08:04.040
I don't know whether if they are going to come down

08:04.040 --> 08:06.040
now down or not anymore because the plane's shifted,

08:06.040 --> 08:07.000
maybe we are going to be sick.

08:07.000 --> 08:08.260
Maybe I'm pretending or not.

08:08.260 --> 08:10.000
But right now the virtual space field is the best space field

08:10.000 --> 08:12.000
and you would be sitting on it any day of the week,

08:12.000 --> 08:14.000
processing tlKew phone calls.

08:14.000 --> 08:16.000
What is the answer to this question?

08:16.000 --> 08:18.000
Imagine we are raising Washington a month from now.

08:18.000 --> 08:20.000
How many microprocessors are currently on the surface of Mars?

08:20.000 --> 08:21.000
Is it 2, 5, 10, or 100?

08:21.000 --> 08:22.000
You're a buzzer.

08:22.000 --> 08:23.000
Alright, it looks like... Robert?

08:23.000 --> 08:24.000
Alright, 5? That is not the correct answer.

08:24.000 --> 08:25.000
I don't know why a total of 5 is there.

08:25.000 --> 08:26.000
1 on the 5th time is the one on the lower axis.

08:26.000 --> 08:27.000
So there are 2 microprocessors on Mars.

08:27.000 --> 08:28.000
Let's move on to the next question, John.

08:28.000 --> 08:29.000
Answer range is over.

08:29.000 --> 08:30.000
Alright, who's favorite graduate student

08:30.000 --> 08:31.000
is one of the most successful business companies

08:31.000 --> 08:32.000
called Yahoo?

08:32.000 --> 08:33.000
Give your name and vote.

08:33.000 --> 08:34.000
Alright, Michael.

08:34.000 --> 08:35.000
Sherry Yang and...

08:35.000 --> 08:36.000
Melody Buong?

08:36.000 --> 08:37.000
Alright, and the president of FIYLL,

08:37.000 --> 08:38.000
and his first name is...

08:38.000 --> 08:39.000
That is what he's saying.

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000
You know who FIYLL is!

08:40.000 --> 08:45.000
Great!

09:10.000 --> 09:11.840
That's a 10 megabits per second to a user on a PC.

09:11.840 --> 09:13.880
How many times faster is that than a 56k modem?

09:13.880 --> 09:17.200
Is it 8 times faster, 26 times faster, 178 times faster,

09:17.200 --> 09:18.080
or 256 times faster?

09:18.080 --> 09:18.960
I think we need one in the video here.

09:18.960 --> 09:19.460
Robert, 178.

09:19.460 --> 09:19.960
Fine?

09:19.960 --> 09:20.460
178.

09:20.460 --> 09:20.960
Sure, all right.

09:20.960 --> 09:21.460
Well done.

09:21.460 --> 09:22.840
All right, well, that's a deal.

09:22.840 --> 09:23.340
That's perfect.

09:23.340 --> 09:23.840
Good.

09:23.840 --> 09:24.840
All right, we're working right along.

09:24.840 --> 09:26.680
In a famous song, the following line is spoken.

09:26.680 --> 09:28.120
My instructor was listed lately, and he told me this famous song.

09:28.120 --> 09:29.360
If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you.

09:29.360 --> 09:29.920
Who spoke that line?

09:29.920 --> 09:30.680
One of the five hot fans in the right?

09:30.680 --> 09:31.180
No.

09:31.180 --> 09:31.680
2001.

09:31.680 --> 09:32.180
Absolutely.

09:32.180 --> 09:32.680
No, all right.

09:32.680 --> 09:33.180
We're all up here.

09:33.180 --> 09:40.180
We've got three questions, we've got 10, 20, or 30 points

09:40.180 --> 09:41.160
for each category.

09:41.160 --> 09:43.160
Category is songs having to do with technology.

09:43.160 --> 09:43.660
All right?

09:43.660 --> 09:45.160
Songs having to do with technology.

09:45.160 --> 09:46.660
10, 20, or 30 points per question.

09:46.660 --> 09:47.160
Oh, my God.

09:47.160 --> 09:47.660
Oh, hey.

09:47.660 --> 09:48.160
All right.

09:48.160 --> 09:49.160
I'm like a rip-tape.

09:49.160 --> 09:50.160
When Microsoft launched Windows 95,

09:50.160 --> 09:52.660
they got the clever idea of using a rolling song to launch the event.

09:52.660 --> 09:54.160
The song was Stop Ya, that's too easy.

09:54.160 --> 09:55.160
That's not the question.

09:55.160 --> 09:56.660
How much did Microsoft pay for the rolling song

09:56.660 --> 09:58.160
for the right to use the song Stop Ya?

09:58.160 --> 09:59.660
Was it $500,000, $1 million, $12 million,

09:59.660 --> 10:00.660
or did they get us nothing?

10:00.660 --> 10:02.160
We've got 10 seconds to control.

10:02.160 --> 10:03.660
We've got to roll the rolling song.

10:03.660 --> 10:04.660
No time for two lines.

10:04.660 --> 10:05.660
We've still got time.

10:05.660 --> 10:06.160
We've still got time.

10:06.160 --> 10:07.160
We're getting easier.

10:07.160 --> 10:08.160
I'm getting 10 for being here.

10:08.160 --> 10:08.660
10 what?

10:08.660 --> 10:09.160
10 what?

10:09.160 --> 10:09.660
10 what?

10:09.660 --> 10:10.160
All right.

10:10.160 --> 10:10.660
I'll give you 10.

10:10.660 --> 10:11.160
I'll give you 10.

10:11.160 --> 10:11.660
All right.

10:11.660 --> 10:13.660
Earlier this year, Bill Gates sang a song on National Television

10:13.660 --> 10:14.660
on the ABC program 2020.

10:14.660 --> 10:15.660
What song did he sing?

10:15.660 --> 10:17.160
Gates sang a song on 2020 on ABC.

10:17.160 --> 10:18.160
What was the song?

10:18.160 --> 10:19.160
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

10:19.160 --> 10:19.660
All right.

10:19.660 --> 10:20.160
30 points.

10:20.160 --> 10:20.660
OK.

10:20.660 --> 10:21.160
Good.

10:21.160 --> 10:22.160
We're back where we started from.

10:22.160 --> 10:22.660
All right.

10:22.660 --> 10:24.160
Another chance to make 30 points to catch up here.

10:24.160 --> 10:25.660
When you saw Windows 95 by default,

10:25.660 --> 10:27.160
it made a distinctive musical sound.

10:27.160 --> 10:33.160
It was written by Edo Fort Elton John.

10:33.160 --> 10:35.160
Who made that little brrring noise on Windows 95?

10:35.160 --> 10:36.160
It was written by Edo.

10:36.160 --> 10:36.660
Edo's right.

10:36.660 --> 10:37.160
30 points.

10:37.160 --> 10:37.660
All right.

10:37.660 --> 10:38.160
Easy.

10:38.160 --> 10:38.660
All right.

10:38.660 --> 10:39.160
We've done it close.

10:39.160 --> 10:40.160
We'll start getting these points 30 now.

10:40.160 --> 10:40.660
John, go do it.

10:40.660 --> 10:42.160
My last year, a young man in Guinness

10:42.160 --> 10:43.160
formed one of the Intergraph's greatest violation

10:43.160 --> 10:45.160
tournaments, the most richest computer game competition.

10:45.160 --> 10:47.160
He won $60,000 in prize money on something else.

10:47.160 --> 10:48.160
He's got something else.

10:48.160 --> 10:49.160
I know the answer to that.

10:49.160 --> 10:49.660
All right.

10:49.660 --> 10:50.160
Denise?

10:50.160 --> 10:51.660
I'm going to check if the printer's ready.

10:51.660 --> 10:52.160
No, no, no.

10:52.160 --> 10:53.660
We have to watch the Lowry Sports column.

10:53.660 --> 10:54.160
God damn the stress.

10:54.160 --> 10:54.660
She's watching.

10:54.660 --> 10:55.160
There you go.

10:55.160 --> 10:57.160
Our next question is from Oliver Schiphol,

10:57.160 --> 10:59.160
executive director of the Computer Museum.

10:59.160 --> 11:00.160
Here is Oliver's question.

11:00.160 --> 11:02.160
Intel's latest version of the Pentium processor

11:02.160 --> 11:03.160
is the Pentium II chip.

11:03.160 --> 11:05.160
In what country did Intel pass off the Pentium II for sale?

11:05.160 --> 11:05.660
What is it?

11:05.660 --> 11:06.160
Japan?

11:06.160 --> 11:06.660
United States?

11:06.660 --> 11:07.160
China?

11:07.160 --> 11:07.660
Or Israel?

11:07.660 --> 11:08.160
All right.

11:08.160 --> 11:08.660
John?

11:08.660 --> 11:09.160
United States.

11:09.160 --> 11:10.160
No, that's not correct.

11:10.160 --> 11:11.160
The correct answer was China.

11:11.160 --> 11:11.660
But we do not.

11:11.660 --> 11:12.660
The correct answer was China.

11:12.660 --> 11:13.660
John, give them the next question.

11:13.660 --> 11:14.160
All right.

11:14.160 --> 11:16.160
There are a lot of strange websites out there without URLX.

11:16.160 --> 11:18.160
Which of the following is not a real website?

11:18.160 --> 11:18.660
Read it.

11:18.660 --> 11:20.160
The cat that looks like Hitler?

11:20.160 --> 11:21.160
The official French fries page?

11:21.160 --> 11:22.160
Driveways of the rich and famous?

11:22.160 --> 11:23.160
Or Underwater Baseball?

11:23.160 --> 11:25.160
No, that's not a website. The other one's actually on.

11:25.160 --> 11:26.160
The product of Jamline's service together

11:26.160 --> 11:27.160
is a junction between two large corporations.

11:27.160 --> 11:28.160
One of them was IBM.

11:28.160 --> 11:28.660
All right.

11:28.660 --> 11:29.160
We've got Mark here.

11:29.160 --> 11:30.160
Here is a question from Mark.

11:30.160 --> 11:31.160
Mark, wait.

11:31.160 --> 11:32.160
I need three questions.

11:32.160 --> 11:33.160
You want to go right here?

11:33.160 --> 11:34.160
Yeah, right here.

11:34.160 --> 11:35.160
Mark, wait.

11:35.160 --> 11:36.160
He's supposed to be right.

11:36.160 --> 11:37.160
We've got to let folks who's wrong.

11:37.160 --> 11:38.160
What did you say?

11:38.160 --> 11:39.160
I'm sorry.

11:39.160 --> 11:40.160
We will throw out the questions we've already got.

11:40.160 --> 11:41.160
We'll throw out the questions we've lost.

11:41.160 --> 11:41.660
All right.

11:41.660 --> 11:42.160
Give them the next one.

11:42.160 --> 11:43.160
This is a software question.

11:43.160 --> 11:44.160
Software packaging has become a fine art.

11:44.160 --> 11:45.160
While many programs are still packaged

11:45.160 --> 11:46.160
in traditional rectangular boxes,

11:46.160 --> 11:47.160
some are more unusual containers.

11:47.160 --> 11:53.160
For example, some packages include pink cans,

11:53.160 --> 11:54.160
wall-to-ceiling dancers, painters, gamblers.

11:54.160 --> 11:55.160
Now, I'm just reading a text.

11:55.160 --> 11:56.160
I don't know what you're saying, but this package

11:56.160 --> 11:57.160
is by a painter.

11:57.160 --> 11:58.160
And since it's Taylor, you said it was by a painter.

11:58.160 --> 11:59.160
Yes, yes.

11:59.160 --> 12:00.160
Yes, all right.

12:00.160 --> 12:01.160
All right.

12:01.160 --> 12:02.160
Last question for Tom.

12:02.160 --> 12:03.160
Tom, you're not done yet, Tom.

12:03.160 --> 12:04.160
Oh, what a modest man.

12:04.160 --> 12:05.160
All right.

12:05.160 --> 12:06.160
So Veronica is named for an Internet search tool.

12:06.160 --> 12:07.160
The name Veronica is, in fact, an acronym.

12:07.160 --> 12:08.160
What do the letters V-E-R-O-N-I-C-A stand for?

12:08.160 --> 12:09.160
Who knows what the Veronica acronym is?

12:09.160 --> 12:10.160
Nobody's buzzing here, though, actually.

12:10.160 --> 12:11.160
What does Veronica stand for?

12:11.160 --> 12:12.160
It's an acronym.

12:12.160 --> 12:17.160
It's a very easy, robo-oriented,

12:17.160 --> 12:18.160
net-wide index of computerized archives.

12:18.160 --> 12:19.160
Why did you get that?

12:19.160 --> 12:20.160
I'm thinking.

12:20.160 --> 12:21.160
Why did the other round seem like it was

12:21.160 --> 12:22.160
the other one that went so fast?

12:22.160 --> 12:23.160
The e-throw was 42 rounds ago?

12:23.160 --> 12:24.160
Computer Classroom is made possible in part by

12:24.160 --> 12:25.160
SoftSource Incorporated, publishers of pro-life software,

12:25.160 --> 12:26.160
educational software for young adults.

12:26.160 --> 12:27.160
And by Z-Option, a live online shopping experience.

12:27.160 --> 12:28.160
Additional funding from PC Connection and Mac Connection,

12:28.160 --> 12:29.160
a catalog and online superstore with PC and Mac products,

12:29.160 --> 12:30.160
full free technical support and overnight delivery.

12:30.160 --> 12:31.160
And by Windows Magazine, delivering desktop, enterprise,

12:31.160 --> 12:32.160
and Internet computing news, reviews, features,

12:32.160 --> 12:33.160
and how-to videos.

12:33.160 --> 12:34.160
And by the wonderful people at Microsoft,

12:34.160 --> 12:35.160
the people who make the best software,

12:35.160 --> 12:36.160
the people who make the best software,

12:36.160 --> 12:43.160
the people who make the best software,

12:43.160 --> 12:52.160
the people who make the best software.

12:52.160 --> 13:08.160
Next week on the Computer Chronicles,

13:08.160 --> 13:23.160
thanks to Spencer Jaban, CEO of Communications,
